About Ceramics Prize De Kei
Ceramics collectors Ankie Maessen and Bert van Meggelen established the prize in 2020 to recognise and encourage Dutch talent in ceramics as an art form. The organisation of Ceramics Prize De Kei is in the hands of the SKPD (Stichting Keramiek Promotie Delft) in cooperation with Museum Prinsenhof Delft and Galerie Terra Delft. The jury of this year's Ceramics Prize De Kei consisted of: Fred Wartna (chairman), Annemie Boissevain (owner Galerie De Witte Voet Amsterdam), Jan de Bruijn (curator of modern applied arts and design Kunstmuseum Den Haag), Wendy Gers (curator of modern and contemporary ceramics Keramiekmuseum Princessehof Leeuwarden) and Esther van der Hoorn (curator of applied arts Museum Prinsenhof Delft).
